GDT: Leafs @ Panthers - 7pm - Knies era begins

[frizzer1]

Next 2 games I would like to see knies with ROR and Nylander.
Tavares with acciardi and kerfoot.
But aint gonna happen.

 

[HolyCrap]

Brodie having a horrible game

He’s having a bad game to say the least. It just looks like nothing can go right for him. I have those days too.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

really starting to like the jt ror willy trio

The flexibility it will allow if Willy has similar chemistry with those two like Marner would be huge.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Most of Florida's shots have been perimeter shots honestly. Like they are out playing us...but they really should be outplaying us by more. We have arguably had more dangerous chances.

His puck handling is a concern.

 

[Stephen]

Not a good way to play a kid in his first game even with how brutal those turnovers were imo

Hope the kid gets back out there soon and makes a good impact but as I mentioned before the game Knies has a lot of 1 on 1 play in his college highlight reel with a lot of bobbling and recovery and that’s probably not always going to work out in pros as frequently. I like him so far.

It's not that bad. Reilly has 3 posts himself.

Does Skynet do those simulations?

We all have those days. Most of us just don’t have to do it while 18,000 people yell at us and many more watch on TV lol

Getting swarmed a lot tonight. Is that a function of Florida’s style or too much time in the sun?

When they are not watching you...

Yes

If 4th gear is playoff intensity and 3rd gear is top end regular season intensity, we're in 2nd gear and Florida is in 4th...Completely understandable...Just come out of this healthy.

Why would you think that?

 

[fahad203]

Knies must be so tired or exhausted. Had a big tournament few days ago then to fly out next day and play the next day

 

[DarkKnight]

Sam on pace to face 49 shots tonight.

 

[keonsbitterness]

FLA should be up big. They gonna be so pissed if they lose this game.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Knies does not appear to be as good a skater as I thought he was

 

[1specter]

This Panthers team reminds me of the '06 era Leafs. Paul Maurice behind the bench, with their hopes resting on third stringer Lyon aka Jean Sebastien Aubin in net, lol

 

[willmma]

wow leafs getting outshot badly. twentyfour to twelve

That's ok.
We just need to avoid injuries.

BettmanGPT

 

[glue]

Honestly you can tell Leafs intensity is not even close, they’re mainly trying not to get injured and yet the score is tied and they could be up by 1 or 2 easily. All good.

I ultimately like these as the final forward lines:
Bunting-Matthews-Marner
JT-O’Reily-Nylander
Kerfoot-Achaari-Jarkrok
ZAR-Kampf-Lafferty
Knies

 

[fahad203]

Why did Bunting shoot that in when he had Matthews and Marner

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Ok no seriously why do our defensemen’s sticks keep breaking!?

 

[Stephen]

Leafs playing this 0-0 game pretty comfortably.

 

[Maple Leaf]

THERE ARE NO MARGINS FOR ERROR
